At the same time, a committee of six men, with myself as chairman, was appointed to confer with the bus company officials.

Springfield and McClain, of the bus company, on the evening of February 10 and canvassed the situation thoroughly. It was the unanimous opinion of this group that direct bus service from the Tarrytown area to the University neighborhood should be initiated as soon as possible on approximately the following basist Two buses are to move eastward between 7:30 and 8:30 Α.
